Why does VR on the PC always seem like vaporware? It is prohibitively expensive and that does not seem to change year on year, I don't even really think I have seen a news story or anything about VR for the last 18 months apart from Sony's crappy offering.

Meanwhile me and others are having a blast in VR day in, day out.

Funny definition of "vaporware"...

> I don't even really think I have seen a news story or anything about VR for the last 18 months apart from Sony's crappy offering.

1. Microsoft's Windows VR platform announced and launched to devs.

2. Bethesda announced 3 major AAA VR titles at E3: Fallout, Skyrim and Doom

3. Valve's innovative Knuckles controllers are in the hards of developers

4. Several new headsets announced - 3 for the new Windows VR platform, another Steam VR compatible headset from LG and some standalone headsets.

5. The Rift and Touch is now under 449 Euros

6. Apple announced SteamVR support and their own VR framework for Metal

That's just from memory.

Yesterday I was ripping robots to pieces in Robo Recall, and later took a supercar for a spin around Spa in Assetto Corsa. Both using my Oculus Rift. I must have bene dreaming since this is supposedly just vapour?
